Nouncorporations
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A corporation is an institution that is granted a charter recognizing it as a separate legal entity having its own rights, privileges, and liabilities distinct from those of its members. There are many different forms of corporations, most of which are used to conduct business. Corporations exist as a product of corporate law, and their rules balance the interests of the management who operate the corporation; creditors who loan it goods, services or money; shareholders who invest their capital; the employees who contribute their labor; and the clients they serve. People work together in corporations to produce value and generate income. In modern times, corporations have become an increasingly dominant part of economic life. People rely on corporations for employment, pensions, goods, services, economic growth and cultural development. An important feature of corporation is limited liability. If a corporation fails, shareholders normally only stand to lose their investment, and employees will lose their jobs, but neither will be further liable for debts that remain owing to the corporation's creditors. Despite not being natural persons, corporations are recognized by the law to have rights and responsibilities like actual people. Corporations can exercise human rights against real individuals and the state, and they may be responsible for human rights violations. Just as they are "born" into existence through its members obtaining a certificate of incorporation, they can "die" when they lose money into insolvency. Corporations can even be convicted of criminal offences, such as fraud and manslaughter. Although corporate law varies in different jurisdictions, there are five core characteristics of the business corporation:

Corporations use tactics to keep environmental issues from becoming social problems... What are a few of these tactics we see here in the U.S.? Asked by tonyjoeo - Sun Mar 2 00:46:47 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. How many environmental problems that affect the health and property of people do you hear about on TV, in magazines or even your local newspaper? I think certain kinds of stories are squashed. By social problems, I assume you mean what would result if more people knew about these things and held the offenders accountable.

I just filed a small claims suit against JP Morgan Chase and have a court date in late November. I'm just curious how often these cases against large corporations actually go to trial, how often they are no-shows, and how often they settle. I'm kind of hoping they want to settle, but I will be happy to take them on in court. Asked by ryan m - Fri Oct 3 17:00:36 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A.

Q. I have only worked at small family owned two bit mom and pop shops. I plan to enter the corporate world soon after my degree is finished. Do corporations decide your salary after they hire you or before? How do they decide it? Asked by surfaafitch24 - Fri Jul 11 09:38:09 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Most corporations have a general scale for each level within a department. For instance, they may decide that a entry-level HR professional should make between $30-40k, depending on factors such as experience, length with the company, etc. After the interview(s) when you receive an offer of employment, it will have the offered salary. This is somewhat negotiable, although the amount of flexibility varies from company to company. However it never hurts to ask, so if you would like to receive a little more than they're offering, go ahead and ask if the salary is negotiable. Almost no one ever does this, which means most people are leaving money on the table. Remember, at this point you're in the driver's seat.
